Gezicht op het Weeshuis op het Spui c. 1700

"Gezicht op het Weeshuis op het Spui," a c. 1700 etching by Jan van Call, depicts a detailed view of the orphanage in Amsterdam. The building, prominent in the foreground, features a distinctive clock tower, while a drawbridge and surrounding cityscape are depicted in the distance. The etching provides a glimpse into the architecture and urban landscape of Amsterdam during the 17th century, reflecting the artistic style of Dutch Golden Age printmaking. The small dimensions of the artwork suggest it was intended for personal viewing and collection.
